There is not a rule called “hand ball” in soccer. It’s called handling. Did the player us his hand to play the ball. In that case with the players so close together it is a tight, boderline call. Never mind that there were two defenders and it was a prayer of a center cross late in the game; that makes it a bad…

That ball clearly hit his arm. He knows it, that’s why he moves his arm behind himself like that. His opponent knew it, that’s why he’s immediately calling for the call. I knew it, because I watched that video, saw both those things and there’s no way it didn’t hit his arm.

As a life long Juve fan, I wouldn’t be surprised if there was a shady call at the end of the game that landed them a PK. But this doesn’t seem shady, it’s clearly a hand ball.

“It’s not entirely clear if the ball hit De Sciglio’s chest or part of his elbow...”

I’d say it’s actually very clear.

I misread “RHP” Ryan Dempster for R.I.P. Ryan Dempster.

Whatever anyone wants to say about Laettner, he was a great college player.

I never thought I’d ask this... But has he passed Christian Laettner as the most hateable Duke player of all time? I say not yet, although he’s getting in Laettner territory.

I would have formed a wall. A great wall. The best wall of players in front of the goal in history. And I would have made England pay for it!*

*They would have to fetch the Gatorade to replenish the energy expended in setting up the formation.

Or a fish costume...

Especially since it’s taking that big ass fish back to the water to brag and show off to the whole bunch of others. Cold blooded.

If I’d been cut from the Jets I’d have had my hands up looking happy

The real tragedy here is that that man is taking up valuable oxygen that could be used by a much smarter and more socially productive houseplant.

That would work, if the Oscars were actually about recognizing great films and performances.

You know what we do with terries:

yeah, because they don’t cover “the earth is round” until your 4th year at Duke.

Maybe NBA dudes should have to graduate from college

I wish I was rich enough to be a showy asshole not just a regular poor asshole.
